Dave kicks ass.

Absolutely. Sounds like they kicked ass. I was shocked to hear that Plant is "only" 59. As I get older, my perception of what is "old" keeps changing. Then again, being a Doug Pinnick fan will do that to you too.

I'd love to be proven wrong, but I can't help but think they are going to suck.

That's awesome, Nick. I'm really happy for you.

An origignal song I wrote called "Touch." I've been trying to get the drums down for the past hour and I'm about to go batshit. I hate this song right about now, but I'll have it running through my head all night. I should know better than to work on music right before bedtime...

Blackie Lawless?!? That's more Chris Robinson than Blackie. Come on, El. Your inner hippie should appreciate that comparison.

That rocks. The singer has a great voice for this kind of stuff. I dig the lead-work, too.

The guitar part in We Will Rock You was probably the first time I really paid attention to the guitar tone. It was just so badass sounding. Still is.

I think she found God and stopped taking her shirt off. A damn shame.

Electronic drums are the master volume amps of the drum world. They may not sound as good as the real thing (although they can sound really good and are easy to record), but if volume is a concern, you should definitely consider them.

That was badass.

I just went looking for the Korn trainwreck. Is this it? While I don't particularly care for the song, they seemed to do a pretty good job with it.

Clearly, Justin Timberlake.

My wife dragged me into some makeup/perfume store this weekend and I noticed that they actually sell Kiss perfume for women. Who actually buys this crap?

That's killer looking. Personally, I'd prefer a sick piece of flame maple on the front, but that piece does have character.

My silver sparkle one still available. Cheap.

Steve - you got any need for single power tubes? I have some neat old stuff but no matching pairs.

Hang in there, Steve. I hope things continue to go well for your family.

I believe that one is owned by "Ego" the mod of one of the KX boards - and a friend of the band. He swears he'll never get rid of it.

Crap. This was on last night? I thought in was a Wed/Thurs show. Hopefully the DVR did its job.

Tell the truth - that's not paint on that picture, is it?

I actually like Brooke - and I don't usually care for the over-enhanced, celebrity skank types like Carmen Electra and Pam Anderson. She looks nice, seems nice and doesn't say anything overly stupid. She's exceeding expectations just by doing that much.

Those were some disappointing choices. Black Crowes dude sounded good but was too damn smiley-happy. That would get annoying. It seemed like that dude who sang Roxanne basically decided to ditch the melody and just focus one one note for the entire song. It really bordered on a monotone performance. Gilby told the truth - it sucked. At least they brought back the house band dummer. That dude kicks ass. Hell, all of them do.

One other thing to consider: I believe the stock Duncan really is a soapbar under a dogear cover, while the Fralin is probably a true dogear. With that being the case, I would expect the soapbar to sound more clean and the dogear to be a little more ruff.

I wouldn't expect the new pickup to sound any tougher or ballsier. I mean "Seymour" isn't a very tough name, but "Lindy" is no better. If you really want a manly pickup, you might want to try something from Bill Lawrance or Larry Dimarzio.
